Patent EP-1053991-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BURNETT JOSEPH C
IPC: B01J8/06
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: Improved methods and apparatus for the preparation of maleic anhydride by reacting a
hydrocarbon having at least four carbon atoms in a straight chain with molecular oxygen in a
catalytic reactor, the reactor comprising a fixed catalyst bed having active sites comprising a
vanadium-phosphorus-oxygen catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of the hydrocarbon to
maleic anhydride, said process further comprising the continuous or intermittent introduction
of a phosphorus-containing agent to the reactor. The introduction of the phosphorus-containing
agent into the maleic anhydride production system is controlled so to provide for a
more uniform distribution of the phosphorus-containing agent throughout the reactor. The
methods of the invention are effective to reduce deposits of the phosphorus-containing agent
or decomposition products of the phosphorus-containing agent on reactor surfaces other than
the catalytic bed thereby decreasing reactor maintenance and increasing reactor lifetime.

Abstract: A spatial light modulator (SLM) is made up of a cell filled with a liquid
crystal (LC) based substance. Latter has a variable scattering property with
respect to an electric field present in the cell. By using a plurality of electrodes
in the direct vicinity of said cell, it is then possible to build an electric
field inside it which will permit advantageously to modulate a continuous
spectrum from optical signals transmitted through said cell. The different
pass bands present in said continuous spectrum while at least few of them
comprise at least a respective different wavelength will have to be transmitted
through said cell at different regions. Latter will correspond to different
values of the amplitude of scattering such to be adapted to modulate the
respective different pass bands. Such SLM is used to build a dynamic spectral
equalizer. Latter contains a spectral dispersive element placed on an
optical path of an incident light beam. This spectral dispersive element will
spread continuously said incident light beam onto said SLM such that at
least each different wavelength present in said incident light beam are focused
or imaged towards a different spatial region of said SLM.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flooring structure in which the beams (1, 8) of the flooring structure are not interconnected with one another apart from in certain discrete points, for example in bearing supports. In this instance, the bearing beams (1, 8) of the flooring structure do not dynamically co-operate with one another in any significant manner. As a result, improved footstep sound insulation will be obtained since the flooring structure only reacts locally to a dynamic loading. The flooring structure emits only sound in an area close to the applied dynamic loading. In the flooring structure according to the present invention, the beams (1, 8) lie considerably closer to one another compared with that which has previously been normal for light wooden flooring structures. In one embodiment of the present invention, the beams (8) and/or studs (10) placed between the beams (1, 8) and floor panels (5) are provided with grooves (9). As a result of these grooves (9) torsional and compression rigidity at the anchorage points with the floor are reduced, which gives improved footstep sound insulation compared with beams and/or studs without grooves.

Abstract: Dynamic balancing reduces quadrature bias in microfabricated vibrating instruments such as tuning fork gyros so that a purity of motion is achieved in the absence of any angular rate input. Balancing is achieved by ablating (74) or depositing (72) onto support structure (62) for a tuning fork gyroscope rather than the proof mass (60) itself by melting and moving material on a tuning fork beam (62). Such adjusting is advantageously done during actual operation of the gyro by laser beam application through an encapsulating transparent cover which can be either part of the chip die or an external package.
